   Sub GetTotalPresentationsOpen()

      ' Variable used to store the number of open presentations.
      Dim Total As Long

      ' Used to control the loop.
      Dim i As Long

      ' Used to build the message box.
      Dim Message As String

      ' Determine how many presentations are open.
      Total = Application.Presentations.Count

      Else
         Message = "You have " & Total & " presentations open: "
      End If

      Message = Message & Chr(13) & Chr(13)

      ' Loop through the presentations and get the name of the

      For i = 1 To Total
         Message = Message & Chr(9) & Presentations(i).Name
      Next i
